AUTHORS AND THEIR CHARAC-
TIERS.
Atlantic Monthly for June.


1t is not every writer who has Dick
ens's host of familiar spirits to respond
to his summons, but all who put their
soul into their labor have IA retinue of
visionary companions whom they love
and cherish. Even the elder Dumas,
whose stories were made mp of adven-
ture and intrigue, with only here and
there an attempt at pOrtraiture, would
shed tears over the memory of his ge-
NAL giant, POrthOs. Thackeray held
many of the men and women he had
created, including some who were not
up to the highest mark of respectable
ty, in the warmest corner of his heart.
He knew them intimately, and could
not conceal his annoyance when an ar
tist, appointed to illustrate certain
book, produced a picture inconsistent
with the objects which existed in his
fancy.
But of all modern authors probably
the most singular in his mental atti-
tude toward the personages of his ro-
mances was Charles Reade. In speak
ing of the characters he had drawn he
always appeared unconscious of their
artificial origin, and referred to them
as if their reality were au established
fact. He. did not recognize any partic-
ular connection between them and
himself. | have repeatedly heard him
discuss the idiOsyncrasies of this or
that member of his ideal family in
precisely the tone he would have en-
plOyed if they had been independent
of him in every sense. When friend
remarked upon what he supposed to be
the motives that impelled the heroine
of "Griffith Gaunt" to certain course
of action, Reade exclaimed hastily and
somewhat warmly, 81 don't believe
Kate Gaunt ever thought of such a
thing"
Then he became abstracted, and
few minutes after added, "It doesn't
seem credible that Kate Gaunt could
be influenced in that way; but after
all, who can tellf
Something was said to him about the
ingenuity of one of Mrs. Ryder's
schemes in the same novel.
eyes," answered Reade, "wasn't it
clever3 You wouldn't imagine a.
woman like Ryder up to dodge of
that sort. Ryder had more brains than
people gave her credit for"
There was no apparent recollection
that her cleverness, whatever it might
have been, was his own invention. In |
''Love Me Little, Love Me Long" it is |
related that Lucy Fountain, when ex
pecting to be drowned by the upset
ing of pleasure boat, whispered to
David Dodd that if she must die she
would have something to say to him

Sarah Bernhardts Ugly Tiger.

Sarah Bernhardt and her pet tiger
cub "Mihette" had a royal time the
other afternoon at Chicago hotel
which was not so pleasant for the other
people. Madame Bernhard ordered a
special dish cooked for the cub. When
it was brought in by the waiter the
hungry young tiger made a spring and
fastened his teeth in the arm of the
terrified attendant, which caused him
to utter howl of agony and hastily
deposit his assailant's dinner on the
richly carpeted floor. The waiter re-
tired and soon after found it necessary
to call a physician to dress the wound.
His injuries are said to be quite seri
Gus, aud blOod-pOisoning is feared.
The cub also attempted to bite the
head waiter, but the latter was too
alert. Bernhardt was much amused
over the little episode, but the bitten
waiter proposes to sue for damages.

-"you look like your mother, when

-syou look like your mother, when
she was of your age"
Mrs. Miller, at sight of her old friend
seemed to be almost well again. The
two talked of former and happier
times, when the poor invalid had been
the belle of the village, and then of
the years of separation, and the
changes that had taken place, until the
twilight fell, and Mrs. Wheatlands said
she must go or she would be belated.
SCI had not heard of you for ever so
long, you see," she said, "and was too
anxious to wait even till tomorrow.
We went abroad when CASTOR was
quite young, that he might be edu-
Gated in Germany; and we have been
there ever since. | don't know but
that we should have remained there
still, if uncle had not died, and Gas
ton heard things about his lawyer here,
that made him think we had better re-
turn. We arrived only last night,
quite unexpectedly, and my first in
quiry was for YOU"
Our story is nearly told. Lawyer
Jupp during the long illness of old
Squire Wheatlands, that lasted for
years, had ussurped the entire man
agement of the Gresham property and
had come to regard himself as reponsi-
BILE to no one. So he had given way
to his natural love of greed, extOrting
brides for forbearance from all debtors
who were behind, and mercilessly ru-
lining those who could not bride him.
When the old squire died, he reasoned
that the heir would remain in Europe,
and so became more cruel and exact
ing. 1t was a rumOr of this conduct
that had brought young Mr.. Wheat
lands home in the way we have seen.
1t was not many months before
Edith became bride. Young Mr..
Wheatlands never forget that look in
the harvest field it was case of love
at first sight; and not with him alone,
for to Edith he was always her fred
cross knight" Everybody said she
made the most popular mistress that
had ever lived at Wheatlands Hall.
The reason was that she carried with
her, into her new and envied position,
the same simplicity of character, the
same devotion to others, and the same
nObleness, which had distinguished
her in her years of poverty.

A Fair Start.

r. J. Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle
When Mr.. and Mrs. Callboafd re-
turned from their wedding journey
they settled right down to hOusekeep
ing. Happier doves never nestled in
fiat, and Mrs. Callboard determined
to make home happy for Charley from
the start. No future misunderstand-
ing should arise in their domestic ar
rangements if her wisdom and tact
could prevent. When they sat down
to their first meal Nellie helped him to
an opaque slab of something about an
inch thick, that fell on the table with
a dull, sickening thud. "There is
some home made bread like your
mother used to make, Charley, dear"
she said sweetly. 81 learned how to
